Include tangible evidence of the impact you, your business, or innovation has made on your own work, team, and/or the wider industry. The judges are looking for hard metrics, particularly on business performance and growth.

Less is more. Our judges have to read lots of entries, be concise and focus on making your entry stand out!

Stick to the entry form. Don’t go off-piste when it comes to entering. Supporting documents are just that… ‘support’. Your main entry should demonstrate the bulk of your submission.

Compelling stories make winners. Individuals and/or companies that make changes for the better or demonstrate innovation are held in high regard. Tell a story which demonstrates why you deserve to win.

GOOD LUCK!

The awards is a great event where farming comes together to celebrate successes with people from across the industry. The food and entertainment were all excellent! To be recognised for my work to date was both humbling and exciting

Kathryn Styan

I am very honoured to have won farm manager of the year 2025 this is recognition of the improvements we have achieved over the past years on the estate and this only possible thanks to the support of the owners and the hard work of all the staff.

Simon Andrews

To win Protein Grower of the Year at the NAGA event, was both a very humbling and immensely proud moment. There is nothing more daunting than to be judged by your peers, when you are trying to justify a production system that can benefit so many livestock producers.

Guy Prudom

I feel very honoured to win the category of young farmer. It’s still doesn’t feel quite real in all honesty as I am still in the dark on who had nominated me. However, it brings a very good feeling. Giving you more drive and sense of achievement. Being a young farmer but also a first generation farmer I quite often get the keep up the work or you’ll get there in the end. As many people in my position do however, I think most people can agree words only go so far. So wining the award really brings the comments and words you are told together and gives you the drive to take it further and keep on going in the industry, even with the issues and problems the industry face I really do feel that there is still plenty of opportunities for agriculture as an industry and a place for the industry to thrive in the future.

Kyle Catlin

It is such an honour to have won Sustainable Farmer in 2025, and something I never expected! For me running a business isn't about the big moments, it is all the little connections with clients and community that matter the most, but winning an award like this is a wonderful recognition for all of the hard work that goes on behind the scenes and all the hard work farmers put in to create sustainable businesses.
